jbuilding to stay | put/ ‘Shocked and disgusted’ by Doug Dear Editor: I am shocked and disgusted at your Jack of judgment for in- cluding Doug Collins’ article in the North Shore News, Feb. 15. I do not wish to address Mr. Collins here, as everyone is entitled to their own opinions (however crass and egotistical these may be). Rather, my complaint is with you, Mr. Editor, as you are the person responsible for this vulgar display of bigotry, profanity and violence. As a resident of the North Shore, I cannot idly sit by and allow you to distribute such inju- rious propaganda to my doorstep without protest. Sensationalism and controversy to this degree are inexcusable — no matter how much it may increase your sales. Your paper proclaims to be the voice of North and West Van- couver and, if this be the case, I feel you need to use some discre- tion in what you prini. Articles such as this have no place in a community newspaper |_|. — but belong where they began — in the gutter, with Mr. Collins and his watering-hole cronies. Nancy Kwast North Vancouver Doug Collins sheds light Dear Editor: We have just renewed our subscription to your newpaper for another year and the main reason for doing thi: is because of Doug Collins’ column. He continues to shed light on so _ many subjects which have, in the past, been swept under the carpet — by other so-called reporters. Please keep Doug, Collins writ- ing — he is needed! J.

Perhaps you've been looking at old pictures and remember a time past when your body was trimmer and you felt better. Maybe you've caught a glimpse of yourself in a full tength mirror and didn't like the bulk that looked back at you. Then again, a close friend might have commented that your ‘pudginess’ seems to be getting out of hand. Whichever the case, you have decided to make weight control a part of your lifestyle. There are good reasons to support your decision. Emotionally, obesity affects everything. You feel afraid to try new experiences. You feel embarassed about putting your body on display. Your self-image takes a real beating. And most _ dangerous is the attitude where you become complacent — resolved to accept the inevitable — and then later become even more discouraged and depressed. Being overweight takes its toll, physically too. Your health suffers in the short term and even more so in the long term. Your lack of fitness limits stamina. You feel sluggish and don't have the energy to tackle significant challenges. All of this reduces your ability to cope with stress. So now you've made your decision to overcome this sneaky monster that can create so many adversities in your life. You have chosen to become that person you know you can become. You want to be accountable — to others, but mostly to yourself. You might need help. After all, there are no magic pills you can swallow to take care of everything for you. Hypnotherapy, that combination of counselling and hypnosis, can help you to feel stronger and view your options differently. Sts ability to bring quick results is made even more inviting because -of the long term improvements it can continue to provide. It can give you the support that it has given so many others. § Tackle your weight problem by first” calling 986-9304 for a free consultation. — Dan Batley has studied. tramed and worked in the field of wif help ance 1979 His wart caring J Peronaldly encourages relaxed, upen camiaicatian Hix tals have awisted many indivitialy ¥ teuth difficulties ta oblane desired results clibsewtons are priate and voupidential for a free consultation, call 9S0. 45008 ADVERTISE SENT sxommmmuancs
